a lit simple space
red cushioned metal chairs
a lazy susan table
savory scents in airs
food was childhood happiness
a feeling that became rare
juicy wonton dumplings
in rich broth, simple and bare
the bite of egg noodles
a crisp firm wheat chew
slicked with sesame oil
blissful taste, i knew
a dish to nourish
and comfort my young heart
down to the last spoonfuls
never wanting to part
seven treasures was for celebration
and comforts and soothes
iām grateful to this place
for the cherished memories i choose.
